South Sudan Institute for
Monitoring, Oversight and Evaluation

Independent research and evidence for a better understanding of South Sudan.

The South Sudan Institute for Monitoring, Oversight and Evaluation (SSIMOE) is an independent, non-partisan digital research platform focused on the economic, policy and institutional realities shaping South Sudan.

We produce evidence-based research for citizens, policymakers, researchers, journalists and institutions that need reliable information on the issues affecting everyday life and South Sudan's development.

Sunrise over South Sudan

Research with the public in mind.

SSIMOE tracks monthly food prices in Juba, monitors budget allocations against actual disbursements in Agriculture and Education, documents the policies shaping South Sudan, and provides analysis of emerging policy issues.

We aim to make important information accessible and useful, whether it is used by a citizen trying to understand rising prices, a journalist researching a public issue, a policymaker examining evidence, or a researcher studying South Sudan.

Independent.
Evidence-based.

We believe that understanding South Sudan requires more than headlines and opinions. It requires evidence that can be examined, questioned and understood.

SSIMOE therefore focuses on collecting and analysing information, documenting public records and presenting research in ways that allow people to see the evidence behind the issues shaping their lives.
